KNEE X RAY
NORMAL RADIOGRAPH/ANATOMY
, Normal position of the patella (useful rule)
On the lateral radiograph, the distance from the tibial
tubercle to the lower pole of the patella should
approximate to the length of the patella itself +-20%.
This rule is relevant to diagnosing rupture of the
patellar tendon.
